ASHER YOUNG
Asher Young is a New York-based artist who started out creating theatrical haunted houses instead of going trick-or-treating as a kid. A childhood education in magic ignited a love of performance and communal spectacle, leading him to design and direct theater and music shows. He graduated from Yale with a degree in Computing and the Arts – an interdisciplinary program that combines computer science, art, music, and theater – and received the Susan J. Smith Prize for outstanding contribution in the Arts. Asher spent a few years creating new shows at an immersive theatrical production company before leaving to pursue his own artistic practice full-time, focusing on developing original work individually and with a wide range of collaborators.
He has put A$AP Rocky through physical and psychological tests on the sales floor of Sotheby’s; tied up 40 audience members in shibari ropes and served them tuna after an aerial duet; developed a three-dimensional hologram to represent memory and physicalize lost loved ones; brought together 30 artists and researchers to project onto Yale’s rare book and manuscript library; and woven 33,000 milliwatts of light through a garden of tress to represent mycorrhizal networks.
